WikiLeaks

From Conservapedia

WikiLeaks is a MediaWiki-powered website that publishes documents leaked to them by anonymous sources. These include sensitive national security-related government documents. WikiLeaks hosts millions of such documents.

After the release of the U.S. military Iraq files, there have been calls for an electronic offensive against the organization. In August 2010, Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell left open the possibility of offensive action against WikiLeaks. In October 2010, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, sent a note out through Twitter saying: "Another irresponsible posting of stolen classified documents by WikiLeaks puts lives at risk and gives adversaries valuable information." [2]The Washington Times calls WikiLeaks "threat to U.S. national security" and "should be treated accordingly." Not only is WikiLeaks a threat to our troops on the battlefield, it is a threat to people and families cooperating with the United States. Our enemies are learning how the military operates. As of December 1st, 2010 Wikileak documents are no longer hosted on Amazon.com servers in Ireland. No indication if Octopuce servers in France will cease hosting files. Earlier in 2010, WikiLeak servers were located in Iceland.
